Welcome to Wiltshire Creativity Network
We provide networking opportunities for practitioners to develop their work with the community and a chance for the public to enjoy and explore different expressive art forms. We are currently looking for a base in Devizes, significantly at the heart of Wiltshire but are keen to join up existing arts activities and take new work out into the community. As a not-for-profit social enterprise group we wish to continue that expression of heart; we believe there is place for everyone interested in/curious about, participating, creating and appreciating the arts.

Free Basic & Advanced Pension Seminars
30 April 2008 at the Watershed, Bristol The highly successful Pensions for Artists seminar programme has already provided free advice to over 600 people working across the arts. ArtsMatrix and Business Link South West are teaming up to bring the seminar back to the South West. The Seminar event is made up of a Basic session (10:30 till 12:30), providing a general introduction to pensions and savings, and an Advanced session (14:00 till 16:00), for those wanting to know about things like how to use a "SIPP" to purchase their workspace as a pension. Attendees can choose to attend one session or the other, or both.
